A food-forward fundraiser for the nonprofit

The Northside Tavern is hosting the sixth annual Faces without Places chili cook-off. Faces without Places is a local nonprofit focused on removing barriers to education for children experiencing homelessness. The family-friendly chili party will feature live music by Murray & Company, a kids craft area, raffles, door prizes, the Bengals on TV and, of course, chili. Each guest will receive three ballots to vote for their favorite chili out of more than 15 entries. Funds raised will go to support educational and enrichment programming, school transportation, school supplies and other specialized services for school-aged children experiencing homelessness. Noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10. $10; free for ages 5 and under. Northside Tavern, 4163 Hamilton Ave., Northside, faceswithoutplaces.org.

It’s appropriate that Project Obscura at
Northside’s Prairie Gallery opened before FotoFocus officially kicks
off Oct. 5. After all, the camera obscura (Latin for “dark chamber”) led
to the modern camera.
